''Shandra: The Jungle Queen'' is a 1999 soft core adventure film.

Something wild. Something untamed. She is Shandra...the jungle girl!
Shandra's attacks come only by the light of the full moon - and they're always fatal. But this wild creature from the jungles of Brazil doesn't maim or destroy her victims - she pleasures them to death, draining their vital essence sexually.
Four biologists set out to study and capture this elusive predator, but their pursuit becomes a race against time as Shandra winds up stalking them instead.

!!Tropes used in ''Shandra: the Jungle Girl'':

* CaughtInASnare: The GreatWhiteHunter Karen sets a snare for Shandra; using Cord as bait. It works. Antonio tries something similar earlier, but fails miserably.
* CaughtOnTape: Armstrong is recording his observations on tape when he is attacked by Shandra. He drops the still running Dictaphone with the result that his near-fatal encounter with Shandra is recorded.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Travis Fox is a businessman who funds the expedition to locate Shandra so he can capture her, bring her back to the States, and sell her to the highest bidder.
* EarthyBarefootCharacter: The title character is a JunglePrincess who spends the entire movie barefoot. At multiple points, other characters discuss how much more primal and closer to nature she is than normal people.
* EroticDream: After he is knocked out by a TranquillizerDart while attempting to capture Shandra, Cord has an erotic dream about her. He is a little disconcerted when he wakes up and finds his girlfriend Ellen by his bed.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: When the guard finds Shandra and Karen curled together on the bed of the cell, naked, he says "Ladies, you shouldn't be doing that here. <{{beat}}> Not that I mind". He is so distracted that Shandra is able to knock him down and escape.
* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction: Ian Abercrombie works for (or possibly heads) something called the Department of Species Control. Exactly what this department does isn't clear, but as he is seeking to develop assassins who are living biological weapons, it seems safe to assume it isn't anything good.
* GreatWhiteHunter: Karen is a rare female example. An expert hunter and tracker, she is hired to lead the expedition to capture Shandra. Cord even jocularly refers to her as 'a great white hunter'.
